Real Madrid in Talks to Loan Endrick to Valencia, Says Report
Real Madrid are reportedly in advanced talks with Valencia CF over a possible loan move for Brazilian striker Endrick, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. The 18-year-old, who joined the La Liga giants from Palmeiras, may be loaned out to gain more playing time under a new managerial regime.
Endrick’s first season in Spain yielded seven goals in 37 appearances, but he logged significantly fewer minutes than expected. With Xabi Alonso now at the helm and other forwards rising in the squad hierarchy most notably Gonzalo García the young forward’s future at the Bernabéu this season is uncertain.
Valencia Sees Opportunity
Valencia is pushing to finalize a loan deal before the end of the summer transfer window. The club reportedly sees Endrick as a strong fit for their system and a potential boost to their attacking depth. Although Endrick is currently sidelined with a minor injury, Valencia do not consider it a dealbreaker.
So far, no agreement has been reached between the two clubs, but negotiations are ongoing.
Real Madrid’s Attacking Shuffle
Endrick arrived in Madrid with high expectations after signing from Palmeiras for a reported fee of €60 million, but he has yet to solidify a regular starting role. Most of his appearances came in cup competitions under former coach Carlo Ancelotti.
The arrival of Xabi Alonso could signal more tactical changes. One major development is the emergence of 21-year-old Gonzalo García, who starred in the Club World Cup with four goals and one assist in six games, earning a spot in the tournament’s Best XI.
Madrid Eyeing Midfield Reinforcements
Meanwhile, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez continues to monitor midfield targets. According to reports, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández has already given the green light for a potential move to Spain.
In addition, the club has shown strong interest in Rodri from Manchester City and is reportedly willing to offer up to €100 million. However, the Premier League champions are reluctant to let the Spanish international go, making negotiations complex.
A Crucial Transfer Window Ahead
As Madrid looks to reshape its squad under a new coach, the next few weeks are expected to be decisive for Endrick’s immediate future, as well as potential big-name midfield arrivals. While no formal announcements have been made, fans and analysts alike are watching closely as Real Madrid navigates another high-stakes transfer window.
